SCOTUS rejects WI ballot counting extension

Vote on fricking time. There's a reason why there's an actual election date.

I could understand 24 hours but 6 days is absurd.

The dissent by Sotmayor, Kagan, and Breyer here is purely political. The lower court should have never ruled on this case, as it's a state issue and in no way relates to federal laws and the constitution. They're trying to legislate from the bench.

ETA - For clarification, the PA ruling essentially upheld the PA state Supreme Court ruling. The WI ruling basically said the federal courts should stay out of a state issue that hasn't gone through the state courts.

Wait. Didn't they just rule the opposite on another case where the just have to be postmarked by Nov 3? PA maybe?

Or did I dream that? Whatever it was was 4-4

---

I think the other 1 the question was about an injunction... not the constitutionality of the extension itself

I don't understand. So they decode WI can't count ballots past 11/3 but PA can count past 11/3. Why the difference in opinions just a few days apart?

hold on... Roberts remembered what party nominated him????

Well it was a Bush and it's become evident that the Bushes have forgotten what party elected them so I can understand Roberts confusion of which party put him on the bench.

Have any of the Bushes stumped for any Republican candidate this election? Not to my knowledge. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Those 3 obama skanks that voted to extend should be held accountable for treason

Judges??? They aren’t at all

and even though Republican appointees are constantly voting against the interest of the party that seated them it is only the right that "politicizes" the court

Leftists lying is so tiresome.

What possible legitimate reason could they have for extending the deadline?
People know when Election Day is, and they know early voting is also available before that date.

Yep, that is the basis on which judges should make their rulings.

For the 154th time, Roberts is ruling under the applicable procedural rules and under the specific statutes of each State, all of which are different and dictate different results.
